10 inspiring quotes from Margaret Thatcher

Lady Margaret Thatcher, the former prime minster of Great Britain from 1979 to 1990, died on Monday after suffering a stroke. She was 87.

The outspoken Thatcher has a fair share of fans and detractors. Here’s how Reuters described her in a story today:

“A grocer's daughter with a steely resolve, she was loved and loathed in equal measure as she crushed the unions, privatized vast swathes of British industry, clashed with the European Union and fought a war to recover the Falkland Islands from Argentine invaders.”

Over the years, Thatcher said a number of inspiring things, many of them about the strength and power of women in politics. You’ll likely find that they translate to any field—including PR and marketing.
